Resumes

If you are looking for a job, your resume will likely be a critical factor in getting selected for an interview. Without a resume that clearly identifies your related experience, education and strengths, you may be out there looking for a job a little longer than you had hoped.

It is important to have a digital version of your resume so that you can make changes as your situation changes. You can also easily adjust a digital version of your resume to appeal to different types of employers and job expectations.

Some crafty people have actually made a business of providing an online space to post your resume electronically. If you have your own web-space, you can make your resume available as a download. If you are traveling this can eliminate the need to carry around multiple copies of your resume.

More than two pages is far too much. Keep it simple and to the point.
